Akagi Station is a terminal station of the Tōbu Kiryū Line, and is located 20.3 kilometers from the opposing terminal of the line at Ōta. It is also a station for the Jōmō Line and is 19.6 kilometers from the starting point of that line at Chūō-Maebashi.

Akagi Station has one island platform for the Jōmō Line and one bay platform serving two tracks for the Tōbu Kiryū Line, with both sets of platforms elevated with the station building underneath. Both companies share the same set of ticket barriers.

The station opened on 10 November 1928 as Shin-Ōmama Station (新大間々駅) on the Jōmō Line. The Tōbu Railway station opened on 18 March 1932. The station was renamed Akagi Station on 1 November 1958.[1]

From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on all Tōbu lines, with Akagi Station becoming "TI-57".[2]
